Chapter 235
There was nothing between Charmine and Anthony; they were not even in a relationship. Why bother complicating things? Furthermore, they were going their separate ways in two months ‘ time, and they would not have anything to do with one another by then. It would only be a joke if anyone found out about their ‘status’, of sorts. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Of course, she could not say such things in front of Chris, thus Charmine carefully articulated her words, “Well, you have to take care of Momo, and the alley is around five hundred meters. April will accompany me. Let’s talk about this when Momo gets better.”
She emphasized her last sentence to remind him: Everything would be over when Chris got better.
Anthony’s eyes darkened and did not insist further. “Take care of her,” he said to April.
“Yes, Sir,”came April’s dutiful reply as she walked over to hold up Charmine’s long tail of her gown.
Charmine waved at Chris. “Momo needs to be good, alright? Wait for Mommy at home.” With that, she threw a goodbye kiss at Chris.
Chris hastily reached out his chubby small hand as though catching the kiss that floated to him. The boy’s face seemingly brightened as though he truly caught the kiss. “Alrighty! Be careful, Mommy!”
Charmine nodded before marching ahead. Anthony felt a strange sense of jealousy looking at Chris’ little fist that caught the flying kiss…
The alley was situated at the back of the venue, sandwiched between two tall hotels. The ground was even, so it was possible to walk the path even in high heels. Still, Charmine had to intentionally slow down her pace so April could catch up to her. If it were not because of her three-meter long gown, she would have walked alone. April could feel Charmine was waiting for her, and it impressed her.
Apart from the times when she spoke to Chris, Charmine was usually quiet, and it emitted an aloof and cold aura. When it came to small details, Charmine seemed to be much more considerate than the other celebrities who appeared gentle on the surface. Even so, these were not enough for a woman like Charmine to be with Boss Bailey!
The two of them walked toward the venue, with one in front and one in the back. As they turned the corner, however…
“Arf!”
A large brown Tibetan Mastiff suddenly rushed out. The mastiff was a meter tall, coated with a generous, thick layer of fur. It seemed burly and strong, and it carried a strong semblance with a fierce lion!
Before the pair could react, the mastiff suddenly launched at Charmine’s direction!
“Argh! Be careful!” April cried out instinctively as she grabbed on Charmine and sheltered her to the side.
Charmine, too, jumped away instinctively the second the mastiff leapt to her. The mastiff became more furious as his targets got away. It gave out a heavy bark as it launched again at a high speed like a monster.
“Run!” April cried out with an almost cracked voice as she grabbed onto Charmine and started running. Anthony and Chris were still out there. Mr. Bailey could get rid of that mastiff if he was still around!
Nonetheless, how could outrun a mastiff? The mastiff would catch up to them in less than five seconds. The most terrifying part was that when they turned back and ran, the entrance of the alley was blocked by a tall ceramic jar all of a sudden. There was no way out of this alley!
Just as they reached the end of the blocked alley, they turned back to see the mastiff launching at them, only less than two meters away. Its jaws hung open, a bloody scent wafted from its mouth.
The usually calm April broke into a cry out of panic. A huge mastiff like this-even with just one scratch- could rip their flesh and damage them physically. It would be no lie that half of their brain could be gone with just one bite of the mastiff, along with their lives!
What to do? What to do?!
Charmine had a serious expression on her face as she scrambled to come up with a plan in a short time.
Not far away from the alley, Kelly Milan watched as the mastiff launched at Charmine with an evil smirk on her lips. Hah! How dare Charmine snatched her company’s resources? This was the price she had to pay for! She even snatched her gown, huh? Well, she might as well die in that stolen gown! Kelly would attend the Night of Glory glamorously, and would walk the stage to receive her No.1 Supermodel Award!
The mastiff was getting closer and closer to Charmine. It opened its bloody jaw, its pointy claws aimed at Charmine’s body.
